官方通訊社新華社報道，因生產與銷售的汽車實際安裝電池容量小于宣傳中的容量，中國政府處罰了兩家新能源汽車制造商。這是在清潔能源汽車騙補丑聞蔓延之際官方最新行動。

上月，中國政府查處包括日產、現代在內超過25家汽車生產商違反清潔汽車補貼的法規，中國支持新能源汽車業蒙上陰影，治理大規模污染的行動也或受影響。

去年中國政府為新能源汽車提供補助45億美元，但已決定2021年以前逐步撤銷補貼。在政策扶持下，去年國內純電動汽車和插電式混合動力汽車的銷量同比翻了兩番，達到33.1萬輛。

據新華社報道，中國財政部取消了力帆集團和重慶恒通客車有限公司2016年的中央財政補助資金預撥資格，涉及補貼金額3.2億元（合4770萬美元）。

力帆集團在上交所發布的公告稱，財政部發現該司共計2395輛乘用車存在不符合申報新能源汽車補助條件的問題，涉及中央財政補助資金約1.14億元。

新華社稱，2013年至2015年恒通共有1176輛新能源車不符合申報條件，處以約6200萬元罰款，并被撤銷2016年中央財政補助資金預撥資格。

力帆拒絕就此事件立即發表評論。路透社未能聯系上恒通。兩家新能源汽車公司總部均設在中國西南直轄市重慶。

分析師指出，中國之前定的目標是2016年全年銷售純電動汽車和插電式混合動力汽車合計70萬輛，如今對汽車廠商騙取補助的調查會影響實現該目標。（財富中文網）

China has punished two ‘new energy’ vehicle makers for producing and selling vehicles with batteries that had lower power capacity than advertised, state media said on Monday, the latest move in a widening scandal involving green car subsidies.

The government has accused more than 25 car makers, including Nissan and Hyundai, of breaking rules on green car subsidies in recent month, casting a pall over China’s drive to support the industry and combat heavy pollution which affects large swathes of the country.

China spent $4.5 billion last year in subsidies for such vehicles, although it is set to gradually phase out the payments by 2021. The plan has helped sales of electric and plug-in hybrids more than quadruple last year to 331,000 vehicles.

The finance ministry cut 2016 subsidies qualifications for Lifan Group and Chongqing Hengtong Bus Company for the use of the subpar batteries, which involved 320 million yuan ($47.7 million) in subsidies, the official Xinhua news agency said.

A Lifan exchange filing said problems were found in 2,395 Lifan vehicles, amounting to subsidies of 114 million yuan.

Xinhua said Hengtong was fined 62 million yuan and had its 2016 subsidy qualifications revoked for batteries used in 1,176 vehicles between 2013 and 2015.

Lifan declined to comment immediately on the matter and Hengtong could not be reached immediately. Both companies are based in the southwestern city of Chongqing.

Analysts have said the subsidy cheating investigations have been a blow to China’s efforts to reach a full-year sales target of 700,000 electric and plug-in hybrid cars.
